Gegham Manukyan, member of the National Assembly "Armenia" faction, writes:
"The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia sent a press release to the media regarding the issue that I was talking about and raised an alarm about in the hall of the National Assembly. That time it caused a heated conversation with Suren Papikyan, but my warning was exactly this...
We are talking about the rapid spread of various, unofficial news about the purchases of ammunition and military equipment from different countries in the Armenian press.
It is worthwhile for our colleagues in the Armenian media to listen to the Ministry of Defense and act in a coordinated, united manner, because it concerns the national security and state interest of our country.
However, one statement will not be enough to settle the matter.
The Ministry of Defense cooperates very closely and actively with the media, which it has been doing quite successfully recently.
Contracts with various military industrial enterprises should be more diligent to exclude any information leakage.Unfortunately, this issue has also become a threat to our country's security.
The "Public Relations and Information Center", which is also responsible for the country's information security and is fed with billions of drams from the RA budget, is much more busy with internal political issues and fake activities than with the country's information security issues.
